Frozen Shoulder

Frozen shoulder, also known as adhesive capsulitis, is a condition characterized by stiffness and pain in the shoulder joint.

:

Its has 3 stages

🔘 Freezing Stage:
This stage can last from 6 to 9 months.

🔘 Frozen stage:
This stage can last 4-12 months.

🔘 Thawing stage:
This can last from 6 months to 2 years.

:

The main symptoms of a frozen shoulder are pain and stiffness that make it difficult or impossible to move it.

:

🔘 Frozen shoulder happens more often in women than men.

🔘 Frozen Shoulder mostly occurs between the age of 40 and 60.

🔘 The risk of frozen shoulder also goes up if the patient is in the process of recovering from a medical condition like a stroke, or surgery like a mastectomy that keeps you from moving your arm.

🔘 Certain medical conditions can increase its risk like diabetes, heart disease, thyroid disease, or Parkinson’s disease are linked to frozen shoulder, too.

:

✅ Over-the-counter nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) like aspirin or ibuprofen can help relieve the pain and inflammation in the shoulder.

✅ Corticosteroid injection in shoulder joint to reduce pain and improve range of motion.

✅ Joint distension. In this procedure doctor will inject sterile water into shoulder capsule to stretch it.

:

Physical therapy and home exercises can be a first-line treatment for frozen shoulder, with consideration of the patient’s symptoms and stage of the condition.

✅ In the freezing (painful) stage, gentle stretching exercises can be done but should be kept within a short duration (1–5 seconds) and not go beyond the patient’s pain threshold.

✅ In the frozen (adhesive) stage, strengthening exercises such as scapular retraction, posterior capsule stretch and isometric shoulder external rotation can be added to the patient’s exercises for maintenance of muscle strength.

✅ In the thawing stage, the patient experiences a gradual return of range of motion; both stretching and strengthening exercises can increase in intensity, with a longer holding duration.

😵Back pain 😐

It is normal to have back pain. ! 😮
80% of people tend to have an episode of back pain at some point in their life. Just because you have back pain once does not mean you will always have back pain. It can be concerning to you when it is very painful and affecting your everyday activity. However, a back complaint is rarely due to anything serious. 👍

Your back is one of the strongest parts of your body and is very resilient. It is designed to cope with lots of activity such as bending, lifting, and twisting.

👉Your lower back pain will usually gradually get better by itself within 2-3 months. !👍

Sometimes back pain can continue for longer periods of time, but there are ways you can help yourself. 😊

How Can I Help Myself?⁉️

Keeping moving normally and being active helps to reduce pain and speed up recovery. The advice that used to be given was to fully rest. We now know the opposite is true and keeping moving is very important. Bed rest or avoiding twisting/bending will make your back more sensitive and more painful in the long term. It is natural to feel some discomfort when you first start getting active. It does not mean you are causing any damage.

Try to reduce the load rather than avoiding lifting.
Take more breaks, do ‘little and often’.
Modify your activity slightly.
Take your usual medication for pain relief, or ask your Pharmacist/GP for advice.
